Question

A hydrogen bond forms by the electrostatic interaction of opposite charges in two molecules. If

Answer 1

The force between the molecules involved in the bond is 6. 426 *10^-11 Newton

How to determine the force

Using the formula:

F = K[q1 x q2]/D^2

where K is coulombs constant =9 *10 ^9 Nm^2/C^2.

q1  and q2 = charges  =  1.60x10 -20C

d = distance between the charges = 2x10 -10 m

Substitute the values into the formula

F =  $9 * 10^9\frac{ 1.60*10^ -20 * 1.60 *10^ -20}{2x10^ -10^{2} }$

F = $9 *10^9\frac{2. 856* 10^-40}{4* 10^-20}$

F = $9* 10^9 * 7. 14* 10^-21$

F = $6. 426 * 10^-11$ Newton

Thus, the force between the molecules involved in the bond is 6. 426 *10^-11 Newton
